Proud ‘O Myself

I had one of those days where I just had no energy to do anything. I had an awful time going to sleep the night before and I only had about 3-4 hours of sleep. Overslept the alarm making my son late to school. So my Monday did NOT start well. I tried to catch some more ZZZ’s which in turn meant I did not and I was just a grouch. I tried to be productive around my house which just made me feel even more tired. I workout Monday – Friday and even the thought of working out made me feel even more tired. I continued to debate about working out all day. It wasn’t like I worked out the day before, Saturday and Sunday are my rest days.

Finally at 4 pm I quit the debate and broke out the workout gear and just did it. SO PROUD OF MYSELF. This was a big break through for me. I am a champion procrastinator especially when I am tired and grouchy. I also realized on this day a t-shirt I wore to workout in was not tight across the belly anymore (my son even noticed) and my fave pair of house-comfy pants I had to re-tie the drawstring tighter!!!

Yesss! I’ve set a goal for myself: The next two weeks are going to be strict and with a lot of exercise, just to see what it will bring me. If it’s good, maybe I’ll go on for a bit longer until I’m at a weight that makes me feel comfortable 🙂 (It sounds like I’m obese or something, far from it! But I would like to get back to my ‘pre-England’ weight….

I did! Mostly because I overcame that sloth-like behavior and the clothes fitting better were icing on that cake. It’s in the past few days I’ve noticed clothes fitting looser and it is a good reward for all of the hard work.
